Love the Piscataquis Chamber of Commerce?

Each year the Maine State Chamber presents a "Chamber of the Year" award at the MSC Annual Meeting to a local chamber for their accomplishments and the impact they've had on their region.

The winner is recognized at the MSC Annual Meeting and receives state-wide attention!

As a rural chamber with smaller businesses and limited resources, sometimes the work we do goes unrecognized. If you'd like to nominate the Piscataquis Chamber, click on the button below!

Deadline is Aug 15^th!
